The 5 states where you are most likely to see Bigfoot, the new data show
This information could be useful if you want to have an overview of the famous elusive creature.
No matter where you live, you have at least heard of Bigfoot legend. The notoriously shy creature has become rooted in modern folklore with other famous cryptids such as the Loch Ness monster and the Jersey Devil. Many amateur hikers and detectives claim to have won photographic or video evidence of the wild animal in the wild, including on the satellite imagery of Google Earth . But if you hope to have an overview of Bigfoot yourself, new data have helped to identify the states where you will be most likely to see the creature.
To refine the locations and maximize the chances, the compiled statistics of Bonussider of Observations reported In the United States, the use of the Bigfoot field research organization (BFRO), which includes data from the last 70 years. The researchers then referred the results with the data from the population of the American census office, the estimates of the local Wapitis and deer populations (Bigfoot favorite food sources) and the percentage of forest coverage in each state to take into account the Creature's ability to remain hidden and have a loose food supply and viable habitat. All states with the exception of Hawaii were then classified using these criteria. AE0FCC31AE342FD3A1346EBB1F342FCB
Of course, there are other explanations on what hikers really see when they spot a great creature that crosses the desert. In a recent study, Data Scientist Floe Foxon compared local bear populations across North America Sasquatch observations , noting that the instances were higher in the areas with a larger number of black bears compared to those where they were not. But even without concrete evidence that the legendary creature really exists, many cannot help keeping it.
So where should you go if you want the best chances to catch the emblematic cryptide? Read the rest for states where you are more likely to see Bigfoot, according to data.

5 Wyoming
- Total relationships: 28
- Observations for 100,000 people: 4.82
Despite one of the lower observation accounts of all states, the data reaffirm that Wyoming is practically a paradise with regard to the desirable Bigfoot habitat. In fact, the small number of human populations of just over 580,000 is not much more than the estimated number of deer of more than 400,000.
4 Idaho
- Total relationships: 103
- Observations for 100,000 people: 5.31
The number of relatively low populations of Idaho of just under 2 million people makes it the kind of unpleasant place that Bigfoot would find at ease. And although it is not historically known as the most likely trampling field of the elusive creature, BFRO data show that observations have taken up in recent decades, by Bonussider.

3 Virginie-Western
- Total relationships: 106
- Observations for 100,000 people: 5.97
As the only state east of the Mississippi river to repress the first five, Virginie-Western stands out on the list as an unexpected Sasquatch sanctuary. And in addition to the number of observations reported, the State also has a healthy population of approximately 550,000 deer in white Vétue and a lot of itinerant space with forest coverage of 79%.
2 Oregon
- Total relationships: 257
- Observations for 100,000 people: 6.06
Bigfoot hunters know that Oregon has long been considered a home for cryptide, the almost half -covered state of forest and densely populated with fit fauna to feed the giant creature. But even if BFRO has 257 reports of the elusive animal, observations anterior to the set of data to legends transmitted by native tribes from the region.

1 Washington
- Total relationships: 710
- Observations for 100,000 people: 9.12
Regarding the search for Sasquatch, the data show that there is no better condition than Washington. He beats the next highest number of total observations reported in California by 249, which highlights her. The Northwest Pacific place is also lush with vegetation and fauna, with forest coverage of 52.74% and a population of more than 270,000 deer. Those who seek to refine their research should go to the county of Pierce, which leads the number of intrastats with 83 reported observations, according to Bonusisider.
